SELLER INSIGHT

We loved this house as soon as we saw it,” say the current owners of 24 Wymers Wood Road. “It is just so charming, with the classic Tudor look from the outside, but spacious yet cosy inside. Having been rebuilt 18 years ago from the original cottage that was there, it is perfectly set up for modern living with underfloor heating and spacious rooms, all wrapped up in a picturesque cottage exterior. Even now, when I drive through the gates, I think how beautiful it is.”

“This has been an amazing family home, ideal for everyday life and entertaining alike,” the owners continue, “adapting and changing to suit our needs as we have reached new stages in our lives. For example, the smallest bedroom began as a nursery, was then a dressing room to the master suite, and latterly came in useful as a study for working from home. The semi-hexagonal kitchen is a wonderfully sociable space, bright and airy with a vaulted glass ceiling, and opens out onto the large patio for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Our favourite space, however, is the hallway: when you enter the house, you walk into a huge double height space with a vaulted landing, like a room in itself. Our children often get the Scalextric tracks out and set up incredible circuits on the floor, and at Christmas we have a huge tree in the corner and pull the table into the hallway for Christmas lunch.”

Outside, the garden serves as an extension of the indoor living accommodation during the warmer weather. “The huge patio at the back of the house hosts a small swimming pool, a comfortable seating area with firepit, and a barbecue area with more formal dining furniture, ideal for al fresco entertaining. Beyond this is a long lawn with two trees towards the back perfectly positioned for use as wide goalposts. Multiple conifers provide a screen for privacy, while the mature shrubs and amazing flowerbeds really come to life in summer. We are very proud of our vegetable beds, too – we eat our own fresh produce out of the garden all summer. All in all, the garden is great for a young family: our children have loved riding their go-carts around the patio and having sports day birthday parties on the lawn. The whole family enjoys watching the birdlife too, from woodpeckers on the lawn and the parakeets who come every summer, to the red kites nesting in the old pine tree in front of the house.”

The local area has much to offer, too. “Burnham high street is within walking distance for everything you need,” the owners say, “with a convenience store, florist, and an excellent butcher who provides our Christmas turkey every year. We are on the edge of the village on a really quiet road with no through traffic, so all you can hear is the birds and the sound of cricket being played on the green opposite in summer. There are endless country walks right on our doorstep, whether across the fields, along the bridle paths, or around the golf course, with the Burnham Beeches also within easy reach. Cliveden is less than a mile up the road, with Windsor also a stone’s throw away for days out or shopping.”*
